Easy down tailgate
Has anyone put one of these on their 73-80 tailgate? These things are kind of heavy and over time a tailgate assist would help. I see that if these struts are put on it changes how much weight the tailgate can handle. So pro and con to installing on truck. Has anyone done this and modified it to work with a cable?

Re: Easy down tailgate
I just watched the video on this and was very interested, until it said that some trimming of the tailgate is required. Shot that idea down real fast.

Re: Easy down tailgate
It looks cool but I haven't found these tailgates to be heavy enough to see the advantage. Plus these tailgates make great seats and weight carrying bed extensions.
